If you were closer my brother in law could hook you up with a windshield. He owns his own glass business.
Center console maybe check on Ebay, same with the dash.
That is if no one has them on here.

GREAT project!!!! Way to go Dad! Thats awsome.
I had a 78 Rally Sport camaro.

Welcome to the site. Good luck with your father/son project.
Most of us on the site would like to see pictures of the project as it goes along

Here are some, we have it running good, stock 350-400 trans w/posi..
Not sure what we are going to do with the dash, maybe just make something up and cover with leather..

[tenpin842]

wow, over all it looks really solid!
How are the floors and the trunk pans?

What about the frame where the rear leaf springs bolt up?

And the metal part of the dash where the windshield and the dash meet (in the corner) ....they most always rust there.

Have you found a rear spoiler? I think that is a must!

[rwcrazy]

We have the spoiler in the trunk, the corner by the windshield is rusted, and the floor pans have been replaced..
The previous owner was turning it into a race car, so the rear, where the springs are, all the way to the doors has new metal and thew old was cut out.. The guy put some time into it, so I can't really complain for the $300.00 we have into it
Thanks

I do need a windshield main thing, I think he will design and create his own center console, since they are hard to find, along with the instrument panel setup
Who knows, work in progress

Let me get ahold of a buddy of mine he just asked me if I wanted his old center console.It's black and for a manual.Maybe it's something you might be able to work with.I will keep my eye open on a windshield if I hear anything I will let you know.
